Chapter 107 The Mystery in the Fabric
"Well, this is something that only I can do, and you won't understand it if I told you, it's a magic magic technique that only the gods can do!"
Xiang Gong is not pretentious, but he really can't teach a bunch of ancients modern chemistry!
Mainly in the process of searching for geothermal energy sources, Xiang Gong unsurprisingly discovered natural sulfur, because geothermal energy generally comes from volcanoes and crustal movements, and Gao Laozhuang's geothermal energy obviously comes from the former.
It is not uncommon for natural sulfur to exist in the terrain formed by volcanic activity, and the sulfur and other ingredients used by ancient monks in the process of refining elixir came from such a place.
After discovering the sulfur, Xiang Gong collected a lot without thinking about it, this thing is very useful, and what Xiang Gong thought of in front of him was bleached silk fabric.
Although Datang's textile industry is second to none in the world, it is limited by the times and cognition in many aspects, and cannot reach the level of later generations, such as the bleaching of silk and cotton cloth.
Before dyeing the cloth, the Tang people will also carry out a bleaching, but the so-called white is only off-white, and the sulfur dioxide produced after the combustion of sulfur meets the water, and the sulfurous acid produced has strong redox properties, which makes it have the effect of bleaching.
Xiang Gong took advantage of this to heat and burn the found sulfur and fumigate the bleached cloth just before dyeing.
After the sulfur dioxide produced after the sulfur is heated and burned, it reacts with the water in the cloth that has not yet evaporated, and it becomes Shangjia's bleaching agent, which bleaches the cotton cloth, and at the same time, because of its redox properties, consumes some impurities in the cotton fiber, making the cotton thread very thin and light.
However, although this alone can increase the whiteness and fineness of the fabric and reduce the weight, it will not increase its transparency.
Therefore, after doing the bleaching experiment, Xiang Gong boldly asked Zhu Fengchun for some cotton thread for bleaching, and then asked the weaver to appropriately reduce the density of the wiring when weaving, so as to get this cloth.
Even if Xiang Gong said it, no one could understand it, so Xiang Gong simply came up with a pretense of mystery and said this kind of fabric in the name of the gods.
Obviously, whether it was this piece of clothing that Xiang Gong had worked so, or Xiang Gong's pretended mystery, he had succeeded in making everyone look up to him more than once, especially Akina.
"The magic of the gods? Is this really for me? Thinking of the preciousness of the garment, Akina couldn't help but blush and asked in a gnats-like voice.
Everyone was stunned!
"Oh my God, is this still our Princess Akina?"
"She is so rude and willful, how can she be so gentle to a Tang person?"
"Yes, yes, I heard that the poetry of the Turkic genius Zhenanzi can't touch her heart?"
"What's more, Hamanye, the first Uighur warrior, was scolded by her to the blood."
"Oh my God......"
……
Everyone's discussion surprised Xiang Gong, and even more shocked Zhu Fengchun, he had seen Aqina's brutality, this little princess, grew up under the pampering of Jieli Khan, and she was called the country's natural fragrance, almost the most precious pearl of the Turks.
In the starry environment, Akina is simply windy and rainy, and the way she uses to express her disgust with a person is to shout and kill, although it is only shouting, and she has never really taken people's lives, but it is enough to make people retreat.
Today was really the first time he had seen Acina blush in front of someone, which ...... It's unbelievable.
stabbed the bucket Xiang Gong, Zhu Fengchun threw an extremely ambiguous look, but Xiang Gong didn't care, his original intention was just to make the journey to the west smoother, out of the Two Realms Mountain is the world of the Turks, he has to deal with it carefully.
What's more, the dress that Xiang Gong gave was really just a gimmick, and the bleach was collected by accident, and only a little bit was used.
The cotton threads are all provided by Zhu Fengchun, he just did a task, in exchange for a relatively closed steamer, the weaving is the weaver Zhu Fengchun is looking for, and the clothes are the tailors of Zhu Fengchun's family, he just did two experiments idlely, and by the way, he guided the tailor to do some modifications to the style of the clothes.
Moreover, the effect of fumigation and bleaching with sulfur dioxide cannot be lasted, and it will slowly turn yellow after a long time.
In order to eliminate the pungent smell remaining in the cotton thread during fumigation, Xiang Gong asked Zhu Fengchun to borrow the spices, and its fragrance will slowly diffuse, reducing the wiring density and making the cotton cloth more likely to damage the drawing and fatal injury, these side effects make this dress destined to be just a short-lived exhibit.
However, it was enough to surprise Akina.
Xiang Gong nodded, "It's just for you, can you put it on and try it?" ”
As if she had finally received a great blessing, Akina couldn't wait to unfold her clothes and gently drape them over her body.
"If you can't see the effect of wearing it like this, you can change the jacket directly, it will be more beautiful." Xiang Gong prompted.
Like an obedient little rabbit, Akina immediately jumped and laughed and went back to the tent to change clothes.
"I ...... Princess Akina is so obedient? ”
"Oh my God, she's like a different person today!"
"I'm not dreaming, am I?"
……
Everyone was in an uproar, Zhu Fengchun looked at Xiang Gong's eyes, which was even more intriguing, but Xiang Gong didn't hear it.
After a while, the curtain of Princess Akina's tent was lifted, and everyone present was amazed.
"Is this brown?"
"Something doesn't seem right!"
"yes, it's a little wrong, but it feels prettier."
Of course, it's more beautiful, originally Hu people like narrow-sleeved and close-fitting clothes for the convenience of riding horses, Xiang Gong asked the tailor to deliberately tighten the waist and raise the waistline, which naturally played a role in shaping, the chest is more prominent, the waist is more fitting, and Aqina's young figure is more exquisitely concave and convex, can it not be beautiful?
Fortunately, Akina is a Turkic nobleman, and under the influence of the Tang Dynasty, she has no habit of not wearing profane clothes, otherwise this dress would be the same as not wearing it.
is so close-fitting, and so looming, lined with the green and blue clothes inside, which makes people reverie even more.
"Huh......" Xiang Gong sighed, fortunately it would not be too exposed, although the Hu people were rough and rough, and the Tang Dynasty was generally open at this time, but the girls were too exposed, and it was still not good.
Looking back at the pig-like faces of the men around him, his saliva was about to fall to the ground, and he knew how ...... this dress was
Sexy, yes, sexy!
"Oh my God, princess, you're so beautiful in this dress!"
A bunch of little girls surrounded Akina like sparrows, chirping and praising her, and Achyna's face couldn't help but be filled with a trace of arrogance, which was completely different from the pride of being a nobleman before, as if she was already the focus of everyone's attention in the world.
The girls are envious, and the men are salivating one by one......
Uh, no, and one of them didn't even look at himself, he ......
